Personal Statement & Application Status?

<p>I just submitted my application to Tulane this evening, and when I logged into the application status check, saw that my application had not registered as being submitted (which is to be expected) but also that my secondary school report (submitted about two weeks ago) and transcript (sent about a week ago) had not been confirmed as received, either. I'm hoping this is just because the Admissions offices are closed for the holidays and not because I sent my Secondary School report and transcript before my application. Anyone know?
But my real question is, what is the personal statement? Is this something that was included in part two of the application and just has not been registered as received yet? Because I submitted a 500 word essay and "Why Tulane?" paragraph in part two.
Help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance! :)</p>

<p>It certainly is most likely just a timing issue. However, if the application doesn’t show up as complete by the end of next week, I would call or write admissions. I don’t think it makes much sense to do anything before that since, as you say, you just submitted everything and it is the holiday break.</p>

<p>I am having the same problem. I already submitted everything to Tulane, and even received an email saying that my application was received. The Tulane website though says I am missing the application (part 2), personal statement, high school transcript and secondary school report. How long did it take for your application materials to appear as “received” on the Tulane website (portal)? Thanks</p>
